As one of the diehards, welcome back, if we stop posting here, this site will die. We need to encourage new members to participate, I guess I am a cheerleader, in the sense I try to greet each new member by announcing them, guilty as charged.

I suggest we give the millions of responsible Americans gun owners that same courtesy.

was showing someone pics of my CJ-10a the other day. the one you welded up for me. you might see it running around anchorage occasionally AKruxs' (sp) daughter is driving it.

he won't sell it back to me though.

Nope.
Daughters driving a suzuki sx4 at the moment. Had the jeep parts guys put a Detroit in the rear axle of the cj10a this summer. Even so, with the swampers, it's not really great on icy roads unless I run the chains.

It's parked in the garage waiting for spring, but she did drive it around quite a bit this summer.

*If you're ever in town, just let me know and I'll gladly let you borrow it for a bit though.

Garage is a bit of a mess after the great tire change over. (4 sets of tires....all stored in a 3ft tall crawl space) Needless to say, the summer tires have not made it back into the crawl space yet. :|

On a side note, I haven't changed much. All the original decals, warnings and stickers are still there. It's a very tough jeep to own, on the one hand, it would be super simple to drop a chevy 350 in and make it better in virtually every way. However, it's one of a very few jeeps that came original from the factory with a diesel, I tend to lean towards original but it's getting harder and harder to find the engine parts I need at our local Nissan forklift dealership (only people I know who still sell nissan sd33 parts).

Added a tach, upgraded air filter, pyrometer, extra fuel/water filter, 4.88 gears, new injectors, detroit locker in the rear, new locking front hubs, welded up some cracks in the body, sound deadening material on cab floor, vinyl flooring and a bluetooth stereo (still not very loud with the top off, but refuse to change the stock look).

That and I have a full set of replacement front end body panels. I did have an extra tub for several years, but sadly I finally decided to trash it when we moved to our new house. Pretty tough decision to trash the tub but it was in very rough shape. If I could do it again, I would have sawzalled the back 10" off the tub and saved it since everything forward of that appears to be identical to a cj5/7 tub.......going to regret that one for a long time............ Still, i've got extra front fenders and a grill for a jeep that most people don't even know exists.
